[Resolved] Display the result from a conditional dropdown selection, on the front end

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to create a custom taxonomy term select system in a Form. The parent terms should be listed in one custom select field, and each group of child terms should be listed in a separate select field.

Solution:
Use generic fields to produce the conditional select fields of parent and child terms. Then use the Forms API to capture the selected parent and child terms and store them using wp_set_object_terms.

On the front-end, you can use a View of terms filtered by term ID, supplied by a shortcode attribute, to display information about the selected child term.
